Q&A

Favorite memory at La Roche? "It is hard to choose a single favorite memory from my time at La Roche. I'll never forget running until I was sick at softball practices, waking up at the crack of dawn for clinical, or walking 5 steps down the hall to laugh all evening with my best friends. I am so blessed to have had such a great experience at La Roche."

Favorite sports moment? "I could spend days upon days with my teammates and never get sick of them. I learned this when we traveled to Myrtle Beach for spring training. The trip was nothing short of amazing, as we went 6-1 and never stopped laughing or supporting each other. The week we spent together proved that we are more than a team, we are a family."

What has your time at La Roche meant to you? "My time at La Roche flew by faster than I ever expected it to. In a short period of time, I met my best friends, learned all of the necessary skills to excel in the nursing field, and gained a second family in my teammates. I am forever grateful for all of the amazing people I met during through this chapter of my life."

What are your future plans? "I plan to purse my nursing career and am excited to begin the next chapter of my life while utilizing all of the skills I've obtained. My goal is to begin my career as a Registered Nurse in Florida as I continue to further my education."

Who has supported you during your time as a student-athlete? "My parents and brother have always been my biggest supporters. My brother and I were always taught that school comes first, but we definitely grew up surrounded by sports and used them as an outlet. In both my academic and athletic career, my family has never missed the chance to show up to support me. Along with my family, my coaches have all greatly impacted me as both a person and an athlete. I am unbelievably thankful for all of the support I've received throughout the years."
